Abstract

Starting in 2007, an award is given each year to the best article published in Small Group Research (SGR). The winner of the award is determined by the editorial team through a process that involves first identifying a small set of finalists, then discussing the special merits of their articles, and finally selecting a winner.
The winner of the 2015-2016 SGR Best Article of the Year Award was presented at the 2016 Annual Conference of the Interdisciplinary Network for Group Research to:
